Plant Kicked Drugs After Son's Tragic Death

[Led Zeppelin](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/led-zeppelin) frontman [Robert Plant](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/robert-plant) ditched drugs the day his son KARAC died in 1977.

The STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN rocker became painfully aware of life's fragility when he lost his beloved six-year-old to a fatal stomach infection. Plant subsequently vowed to live more modestly and put his family first.

Plant says, "I haven't taken a drug since that day.

"I thought, 'How am I ever going to deal with the next moment and put my shoulders back and be a man?' I thought I'd better re-focus the whole deal.

"I still drink, and I don't spill much. But my days are long and they're beautiful."
